Useless information returns

Wednesday, June 1st, 2011

One of the things I am most proud of is the vast amount of useless information stored in my pretty little head.
I know random facts that have no true purpose.
I have long attributed my random fact knowledge to an obsession with Pop Up Video, a show that featured information about music, artists and fun facts nestled inside bubbles during music videos.
Maybe I am going to fast here. There was a time that stations such as MTV and VH1 played what are called music videos instead of reality shows mocking Italian Americans. But let’s leave that for another blog.
The show left the airwaves in 2002 but I was able to catch some reruns on VH1 classic.
But someone decided that music channels need to start actually playing music again and Pop Up Video is returning to VH1 this fall with new videos and facts. Artists such as Eminem and Katy Perry will be featured in the return of the series. I am keeping my fingers crossed that Lady Gaga makes a few appearances as well.
I hope the show is a success and this is a trend of brining back more music to these channels. Now if only someone would produce a sitcom such as Friends I would be in great shape.
By the way did you know that Ghostbusters was originally written for John Belushi. Unfortunately he died a year before the movie was shot.
“Bloop.”
